(54)	Image display control apparatus and image display control method

(57) An image is moved and displayed through an image movement orbit composed of one or more annular orbits. The annular orbit is set such that a central point of the image to be displayed on a display screen is defined as a reference position, and the reference position is used as a start point, and it returns back to this reference position when a movement corresponding to one round is completed. In other words, the image movement orbit is established so as to always pass through a reference point Pt, for each cycle of an annular orbit. As a result of such image movement, the image movement as a pixel shift is hard to be visually recognized and may reduce ghost effects.
